Calais Campbell Restrained Yannick Ngakoue in Locker Room After Loss to TexansThe Jacksonville Jaguars have lost three straight games and are now reportedly fighting with each other. 
According to Daniel Popper of The Athletic, defensive end Calais Campbell was restraining fellow defensive end Yannick Ngakoue in the locker room following Sunday's 20-7 loss to the Houston Texans. Popper noted there was "lots of yelling coming from the room," and Ngakoue "threw off Campbell" after the interaction.
The 2018 version of the Jaguars has been a shell of the team that finished 10-6 last year and went to the AFC Championship Game. Had linebacker Myles Jack not been questionably marked down to wipe away a potential defensive touchdown in that AFC Championship Game loss, Jacksonville could have been in the Super Bowl.
It is now languishing at 3-4 with heated situations in the locker room.
Campbell, Ngakoue and the rest of the once-vaunted defense allowed a combined 70 points in losses to the Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys prior to Sunday's showing, while the offense fell apart against the Texans. Quarterback Blake Bortles was even benched in favor of Cody Kessler, which isn't an encouraging sign for the supposed franchise quarterback.

Their culture and locker room is based off of talking shit. Not surprising that now they are facing a little adversity and they are back biting and in-fighting. They are getting their asses handed to them. They should have been the team to trade for Teddy Bridgewater, they missed a golden opportunity there. What good does it do to bench Bortles now? Cody Kessler? Riiiiight.

Teddy in Jax would have been perfect. Get him back to FL, defensive oriented team etc.

They were probably to concerned about how Bortles would have received it...

Their offense has always been questionable with Bortles at the helm.  But their D getting manhandled tells me Marrone has lost this team.

Kudos to our coaching staff for handling the offensive explosion year much better than the Jags.  Both teams built on defense and running the ball.  But we signed a premiere QB, and our staff seems to be on top of the rule changes.  Instead of falling apart, our D has rallied and played better lately.   A good culture in the lockerroom helps.

Jax could've drafted Lamar Jackson, but chose another DL. Year before they could've drafted Patrick Mahomes and DeSean Jackson and chose to draft a RB #4 overall. Fournette is a good back, but how much better is he than the backs who went a round or two later? Cook (2nd), Mixon (2nd), Kamara (3rd) Kareem Hunt (3rd), James Conner (3rd).
